Today we continued the modification of our robot and the creation of our program for the Obstacle Course Challenge. First we programmed the first part of the obstacle course, beginning with a sounds sensor block. We set the threshold to 50 so that it would recognize a clap to begin the program, this went flawlessly and the clap works just fine.
Next we set up the light sensor programming, this worked as well with the smaller set of wheels, however with the larger set of wheels (which make the robot run straighter) the light sensor simply passed over the tape, we are working on fixing this problem.
The last thing we did was modify our build so that the touch sensor was not below, but above the ultrasonic sensor. To do this we had to create our own unique assembly rig that incorporated cross beam and other building techniques to keep the touch sensor steady while remaining above and out of the ultrasonic sensor's way.
We go about halfway through our programming today, getting all the way to touching the wall, backing up and turning. I'm fairly happy with the amount of work we got done. All in all we did a fairly good amount of work today and we will have to come in after school to finish up the whole obstacle coarse.
